Hi everyone

While working on my project i came across a chm file. Since i was new
to this format in linux, i took the opportunity to search on google.
and i would like to share this with you.

"Chm file is a Microsoft Compressed HTML Help file in a proprietary
format for online help files. Under Linux/FreeBSD or UNIX you can
open .chm file using following three different programs which makes it
possible to browse native." these lines are from the following link.
http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/open-chm-file-under-linuxfreebsd/

Well in short the kchmviewer comes to my rescue to open that file.

as the name suggests k==kde and definately the linux people made the
parallel thing for gnome also.

$ gnochm file.chm

and for KDE

$ kchmviewer file.chm

Other options:
try the firefox plugin to view chm files.....
even wine opens the chm files perfectly...

we can also use xchm to open such files.
download this package in ubuntu with following command:
sudo apt-get install xchm

after installing you can use this with command:

in UBUNTU->
gnome-open <file.chm>

in KUBUNTU->
xchm <file.chm>

thanks
